COLLECT CALL
Maker Candle House · Work date 2022-10-19 · Medium telephone · Role work
Description
When time is running out, how do you spend it? Andy doesn’t know the answer to that question – but if he’s very lucky, you’ll help him figure it out. Equal parts heartfelt drama and living memorial, COLLECT CALL pulls on documentary records and shared imagination to connect you with Andy, on the most important phone call he'll ever make in his life. COLLECT CALL is an interactive telephone play, performed live for a single audience member. You can experience it anywhere in the world – all you need is your mobile phone.
